Holidays & puzzles

Extra! Extra! Jiggy Jr. returns, inspires Jiggy Senior to resume blogging!


Yes, dear readers, Jiggy Jr.'s lovely presence (home for the holidays) has reminded me of the pleasures of blogging. It was Jiggy Jr. herself who taught me the fine art of uploading photos onto the blog site and using the blog tools. And it was with Jiggy Jr. that I last encountered (and bought) a pile of wonderful puzzles. While she has been benefiting from the hallowed halls of higher education, I have been swamped by those halls and, alas, blogging has fallen by the wayside.

Nevertheless, those who know of my love for jigsaw puzzles have continued to forward pictures of things (statues, games, books, monuments) that demonstrate the "jigsaw puzzle as metaphor for life." And, despite Jiggy's absence, I have continued to work on puzzles. Above, a puzzle based on the wonderful Diego Rivera mural. The details of this manufacture—engine assembly in Detroit—kept me absorbed over the fall season. Later, I'll post a new puzzle which has absorbed me in the early days of winter!

In fully interlocking solidarity,
Jigsaw maniac

Loose lips sink ships—keep busy with jigsaw puzzles ✌
